stomach cancer,liver and lung cancer

my father was recently admitted to hospital ,short of breath.

after tests and an endoscopy we got the news we all dreaded,

he was diagnosed on the 8/2/07 with primary stomach cancer which has spread secondary to his liver (5-6 deposits i am told) and via his lymph nodes causing small lung mets!

initially the ward doctor told us he was not curable and terminally ill.

obviously the prognosis was like an open ending book ,so we asked the time scale left .

the nurse skated around this and told us she would like to think later months but not 12.

now a month on we have been told he can go home on LEVEL 6 CARE.

we were told that this level of care was given to people with poor prognosis and possibly weeks left to live !feeling rather confused and emotional can any one please explain this level of care and what signs will we look for as he detiororates!

my father is 80 yrs old but i cannot even think about loosing him so quick !

Please check your private messages. I have contacted you there. Shemay

Hi,

 I just read your message and would strongly encourage you to visit

www.CancerTutor.com for alternative cancer treatments that

can work no matter what stage.  Please don't give up!  There is

always hope that he can be cured.  Check out the Budwig Protocol

using FlaxSeed Oil and Cottage Cheese combo, and the Gerson

Therapy which consists of 13 glasses a day of juices, carrot/apple

and green drinks.  Also start him right away on Vitamin C powder

mixed in his green drinks up to bowel tolerance, i.e. 20 or more

grams a day.  Find a doctor that can help with alternative methods

since conventional doctors have written him off.  For example,

a good test when calling a doctor, "will he give up to 60 gms a

intravenously of Vit C?"  Check out Linus Paulings books on

Vitaming C and Cancer.

Good luck!

My husband passed away 8 months ago of stomach cancer.  He was diagnosis with linitis plastica June of 05.  Our only option was chemo.  We did a lot of research and yes, most everything you read is negative.  The chemo. did give us a few more months. 

Stomach cancer unless found early has a poor prognosis.  The prognosis is much better if the stomach can be removed. 

I wish I had better news for you but unfortunately this is the way it is.

 

sorry to hear about your loss .

i think we have resigned ourselves to the fact we are gonna loose dad but the pain still hurts.

i cannot imagine what torment must be going through his mind as i constantly have dreams about this and what is gonna happen and when .

thanx for your kind words people who give whaterver info on my questions give me great confort and hope my dad will not suffer too much !

love paul

i know this may be hard to hear but one sign of dying is when the kidneys start producing less urine and blood pressure starts dropping also circulation to the feet and hands will not be good causing them to turn purplish or blueish i know this from watching my grandfather die everyone thinks it will be scarey to see someone die but i saw my granpa take his last breath and i knew he was finally out of all the pain and at peace my granpa was and still is the most important person in my life he was and is my hero i hate to be so blunt on signs of dying but what i got from your question was that was kind of what you were looking for something to tell u when he might be close to death so u can be prepared and it won't catch  u off guard the good thing is most doctors will allow plenty of pain meds at a constant basis so they feel no pain which that is what i would prefer as well i am sorry u are having to go thru this at this time just remember u being there will ease the pain some as well if ever u need to talk feel free to private message me.   

My Dad died yesterday 29th March 2007.  Two weeks and one day from being discharged with Level 6 Care and a prognosis of weeks/months.  He went downhill very rapidly.  His voice became quieter and quieter to almost a whisper.  He had drastic weight loss and within one week jaundice.  His appetite was zero and he drank less and less - eventually a mouthful a day.  He said he did not feel hungry and thankfully said he had no pain.  He was not receiving any medication for pain.  Three days ago Dad began to vomit and became vacant.  He did not offer conversation and I feel I lost him at that point.  I am relieved that it is all over for him and he is at rest.  My recovery now begins.

Shemay-

I saw your name on many message boards and saw that you believe in alternative medicines.  My brother in law was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April of 07.  after all the testing and things the poor thing had to endure, they also found it in his lungs and a kidney.  he was fine for the initial rounds of chemo (avastin) but in the past few days has been very weak and now has checked in the hospital with 100% oxygen.  I am not sure what the doctor will tell him, or if the chemo even worked.  It doesn't look like it has.  Do you have any alternative suggestions for him?  He is already not eating sugar and has been seeing a nutritionist, so he has been eating right.  what else??

Hello Heidi Did you see the message I posted some time back regarding the amazing recovery of a friend of mine from terminal prostate cancer which had spread to his bones and lungs, actually throughout his whole body? His alternative treatments consisted of Intravenous Vitamin C/Lipoic Acid once a week and a 21 day course of 714X. He also used and continues to use Essiac tea faithfully. I will gladly share all the information I have regarding these treatments and others which are having successes with various cancers. The information is lengthy and sometimes redundant here since I have posted some of it here before so if you will contact me privately I will send along what have that might be hopeful and helpful. Please tell your brother in law to hang in there........there is always hope. Sometimes we have to "step outside the box" to find it. Shemay
